It's time for another structure build! This small O scale model is based on the Willard P. Bounds US Marshal's Office that once stood at Rainbow Ridge in Disneyland. I describe the complete build in this video, and how I designed laser cut parts for the model. Enjoy!
Thanks for tuning in, amigos!

I always enjoy your builds in spite we do things in very different ways but wind up with the same results.

Hello, laser cutters and 3D printers are changing modeling very rapidly. Great for the hobby. Just a little pricey. Thanks for another great episode.

Those devices result in really nice models but in my opinion it’s taking away from the skill needed to produce a true scratch built model. It’s a form of cheating if you will. And an expensive one at that. Certainly not within the means of everybody.

Dave, your Mock-ups look better than most of my permeate structures.

Well, I get a lot of mileage out of them

Excellent. It would be interesting to see more of this laser cutter.

Awesome little build. I really like how you've used the flicker effect LEDs to represent oil lamps throughout the layout. Thunder Mesa gets better and better everytime you put out another video. I very much enjoy your approach to model railroading. Kind of whimsical mixed with reality and prototypical aspects such as the correct clothing on figures and correct architectural style of the time period, then you add the detail that only a master craftsman could. Stay well. -Wil 👍

Fantastic, Dave. Where do you get your laserboard?

What Cresent Illustration Board number did you use for the subframe for the building? I looked up their product online and they have a surprising variety of Illustration board types.

I prefer the 300 Cold Press

Hey Dave, I love the video and your layout looks amazing! I am curious why you constructed the building with illustration board and then glue the clapboard on top of that? As appose to constructing the clapboard together.

Good question. The inner structure helps keep the basswood from warping, which it likes to do, and also adds a nice, neutral texture for the building's interior.

Oh cool, I must try this. Even though I brace my walls, they seem to wrap any ways and that is a perfect solution, especially if you want to detail the inside.

Right now I'm doing an HO scale board by board build of the Wall Street Mill, Wall Street Colorado, 1903. One problem is that I only have the pictures of it I find online. Anyone know of other pictures in a book or wherever? I'd love to see the roof rafters and any interior or exterior shots of the walls close up. Actually it's going pretty well so far scaling from the online images and using Starbucks stirring sticks as the basic boarding material. They scale to 18" wide so I scribe them down the middle to look more like the pictures. Thanks, Thailand Paul

Dave,.Looks Great, Sounds like you recommend Vallejo paints? Im still trying to find a good alternative for Floquil . Looks like Vallejo airbrushes nicely.Gonna have to try it. Thanks for all of your, craftmanship, design thoughts, tips etc.

I do like Vallejo paints. The pigments are very finely ground and the colors are rich. I prefer the “Air” colors as they don’t need to be diluted for the airbrush.
